Welcome to RCC and crawlers! This forum is almost all you need if you are looking for information about crawlers. It sounds like you have an exciting project in the plans The 1/18 buggy wheels uses the same hex as the stock RockSta wheels so no need to use any adapters. For 12 mm hexes I have not good answer. Perhaps look more towards the 1/14 or 1/16 buggies (Losi Mini8ight, Carisma GTB etc...)? They might have 12 mm hexes and 3 mm axle stubs. Also no good advice for the beadlocks either. I made some myself but those are more expensive than the RC4WD ones... They are cheap and fun, so I will not talk you out of that thought | |

Wanted to build a Losi MRC, but can't find everything I'd need for a custom build. Looks like everything is just about discontinued. As far as features on the Rocksta, I'm super impressed from what I see online. Even more so with what you've already done to yours. | |

What is required to allow for the use of separate escs front and back to work the axles independently? I've never cared to worry about doing that, until I saw a video recently of what that allows you to do with a crawler! With less than perfect steering that could be a great asset.

But for most it is enough to have a pistol style radio that can handle mixing of 2 esc. Most of the medium, or high end radios has that option. I personally really like the Sanwa MT4. To be able to control the axles independent of each other and have 4WS you need 4 channels. | |

You can have independent control with a pistol grip radio. most people with dual ESCs have that setup, it just won't do simultaneous independent axles which isn't a big deal for most people. As long as there are at least 3 channels and mixing. Mine is set up with a hacked GT3B. For wiring do some searches for dual ESCs or check the electronics section and there should be a few instructions and even diagrams. For mini rock crawlers parts I'd check the Mini section. It had lots of aftermarket support, and I would expect the replacement from vattera (Losi) and the clones like hbx and HSP may have some parts that can swap. As for beadlocks you can take stock Losi mini rock crawlers wheels and some PVC pipe and modify the wheel into a true beadlock.

| Re: Dravpnir tries to build something micro, again... You can run front dig which locks the rear axle and drives the front, rear dig which locks the front and drives the rear. You can also have proportional overdrive for the front and underdrive for the rear. So if you for example have it set to 10%, every click of the slider makes the front axle 10% faster than the rear and you can do the same to underdrive the rear. The 3ch button can be used to quickly reset everything to a 50/50 split.

Does this RC come stock with dig or is that the modifications you did using dual ESCs?

Anybody know what size hex and socket drivers I'll need for the Rocksta? Thanks in advance! |

The XYS-BL20A is on the far right. The 10 amp version is plenty strong enough and a little smaller. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

In this case they call reverse delay "brake" not having it allows you to go from forward to instant reverse to prevent a rollover on an incline. Otherwise there is stop, a few seconds of delay, then tap reverse again to move. Metal gears are available with searching.
